Integrating Unscrambler Predictor
in FTSW100 Version 2.71

Quebec, Canada – October 29, 2009: ABB, a leading provider for FT-IR and FT-NIR analytical solutions, announces the support of Unscrambler model predictor in the FTSW100 version 2.71 release. ABB Bomem Inc. now provides full support for CAMO Software’s product - Unscrambler Predictor version 9.8 - into the FTSW core software.

Analyzing & controlling processes in a flexible and repeatable manner requires process understanding to be realized within regulatory and advanced control environments, while at the same time taking advantage of a range of process models. This is facilitated by dynamic solutions – predict, control and inferential measurement platforms which integrate with operator interface, and regulatory control and process data management components.

The Unscrambler Predictor is a product from CAMO Software designed to make models built off-line in The Unscrambler®, accessible to third party instruments and control systems. The Unscrambler Predictor has been integrated into the FTSW products thus giving the user all of the predictive and diagnostic tools found in The Unscrambler®, configured in a way that allows real time monitoring and quality control.

“ABB Bomem Inc. is a leading supplier of analyzers for the process industry and we are very pleased to enter into this collaboration ” says Brad Swarbrick, Pharmaceutical Business Development Manager, CAMO Software. “This integration is especially welcomed as it will meet the needs of those who are already using products from ABB Bomem Inc. and CAMO Software”.
